Cloak military trenchcoat

[djrajio]

The boots are also Alfredo Bannister. They cost approximately $500+. As for weather you can purchase them in USA *grin*....

I have the trench. Bought it at the Greene New York store. Retail is 1000+. It's cotten though, so if you're looking for something warmer, I'd look elsewhere. But the cut is amazing and looks fire with a pair of slim jeans and a pair of these:

Seems like a lots of guys wear those type of shoes in Japan. I think their kinda queer but cool at the same time. Too bad you'd look like you were cosplaying an Elf with those on.

[djrajio]

haha. I've actually never had anyone tell me that I look like an elf. I suppose if you bent the front of the shoe fairly hard, colored them green, and wore some nylon stocking people would. But on the contrary, its very punk/rock/gothic with some dark slim jeans and a fitted t-shirt and always get complements on them. I guess I'm very comfortable with my fashion and tend to be very progressive. *shrug* Maybe most guys are afraid of standing out and rather opt for some dunks?

[whynotmakeboth]

how come there isn't an italian brand named hitoshi fukasaku or something

[triniboy27]

LOOOL

good question.

But those shoes are still fly, elfish or not.

[minya]

The boots are way more badass than the shoes...

but I'd love to own either.

$500 is just too much for a pair of boots that closely resembles a pair of $100 army surplus boots, though...

[triniboy27]

Man, you gotta let me know what army surplus stores you shop at cuz i've never seen boots like those! and i've looked! Lol

For anyone who's interested: http://www.at-scelta.com/brand.php?BC=50xx

[darkanimal]

Now you got me interested! Good boots are the hardest thing to find on earth!

[minya]

WOw.. they're only $331 from at-scelta.

Ugh. I want them.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

can you buy directly from there or do you need to use bid service?

tally-hoo

[dnnsmanace]

These are dope too:

[giantreptile]

these style of shoes don't look good on short people; ends up looking like clown shoes.

[triniboy27]

wouldn't that depend on their shoe size rather than their height?

[giantreptile]

if you notice, the toe of this style of shoe (a take on '60s mod) extends well beyond the wearer's shoe size. so if someone is a size ten, this makes them look like they're wearing a size 12 or more. on a short person, that can look weird.

[triniboy27]

i agree.

it's just that from your previous post, it sounded like you meant on all short people..as opposed to short ppl with larger feet.

[dnnsmanace]

Whoever posted them, any pics of you wearing them?

[TaintedSoul]

I tried that cloak on today in Vancouver. Richard Kidd in Gastown carries some of their stuff. All I can say is that I've never tried a better fitting coat in my life. Its heavy, but the quality is amazing. It retailed for $1308 CND. If I had the money I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Does anyone know of any other brands that have a similar style of coat?

TIA.

It isn't exactly the same, but it is a long black jacket:

It's from the Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2005 line.

[TaintedSoul]

That's a nice jacket. I've looked around on the net but I can't seem to find that jacket. I know its called a walking night sueded cotton twill coat. I found a short version of it on eluxury.com but I can't seem to find this one. Can anyone help me out?

TIA.

They would definately have it or be able to order it for you at any of the Marc Jacobs stores, but you live in Canada. I don't think you will be able to find it online. Maybe call one of the Marc Jacobs stores and inquire about Canadian retailers?

Since you guys are on the subject of Cloak trenches... http://tinyurl.com/b2fdl This one will probably go fast.

I like the '04 F/W collection a lot more than '05... but that's just me.

[134]

Wow, that's a really great deal. Too bad it is size XL.

Dries Van Noten Fall 2005, available on YOOX in size M ($828): http://www.yoox.com/item/tskay//rr/1/cod10/410232123N/areaid/36/st/N/DRIES+VAN+NOTEN/Coats

YOOX has some other trenches for around the same price in various sizes, but that is the nicest.

Link to the Cloak trench works for me, try http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-CLOAK-NYC-HOMME-RUNWAY-TRENCH-COAT-DIOR_W0QQitemZ8343186062QQcategoryZ57988QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

By the way, I just noticed that yoox.com is way cheaper when shopping from France (maybe EU) :

When I click the link I see �562 which is $673 ! When selecting United States the price grows up to $828 !

Alfredo Bannister. It's a Japanese shoe label. Have two pairs, one in white and one in black. Alas, they are only sold in Japan. Around $250-270. Thinking of getting these boots for winter:

>> Alas, they are only sold in Japan

Actually you can get them in London, at Designworks in Broadwick Street (Soho). They don't have the whole line, but I've seen quite a few there. Not my cup of tea, although on the right person they can look good. Designworks is a Japanese/UK collab with the Japanese fashion chain Abahouse; they have some cool stuff there, but it's not really in the same league as, say, Comme des Garcons.

Has anyone seen/tried that gunmetal topcoat by Cloak Design?

That things looks amazing.

As well does the tweed Alpine coat (the last in the collection).
